Frequently asked questions

  • One of the required documents is a diploma. What do you mean by a diploma?

    A diploma (academic training at least to the level of a bachelor’s degree, either in medicine or a paramedical science) is a document that confirms that you have passed or completed all your exams with official signatures of the academic board of your university.

    Training and workshop certificates/documents can be uploaded under ‘other documents’.

  • Do I need to upload both my diploma and transcripts?

    Yes, we need both required documents. Please upload them in the online application system. 

    A transcript is the list of all of the courses you took and the respective grades received.

    A diploma is the certificate that the university gives you saying you have satisfactorily completed all of the course requirements and have graduated.

  • I have uploaded the wrong document / attachment. How can I change that?

    In the attachments of your application file in the online application system you can upload as many documents as you want. But you can also delete documents: click on the +/- symbol and you will see that a ‘delete’-button will appear. So please upload the correct document and delete the wrong attachment.
